Learned some things from this article. Apparently one of the coauthors of the study is just some VC investor asshole who just wrote a WSJ oped about how the virus isn't so deadly. Sure some of the papers I've been on have had some dubious coauthors but this is beyond the pale. What figure did he contribute to in the paper?
Also of note, the actual manufacturer of the serology tests is a Chinese company that is actually now banned from exporting tests to the US. Hangzhou Biotest Biotech. Sounds like a reputable entity......
Unclear if they are the same company as Hangzhou Alltest Biotech. They were the producers of the worst performing commercial test from the only data comparing commercial tests out there. Specificity in the 80s, woof.
